PAGE TWO THE CHARLESTON DAILY MAIL, MONDAY EVENING. JULY 4, 1932 1 GALLERY'S BOOS SHOTATM'AIKH) Reception for Roosevelt Re garded As Cordial As Any Possible By MARK SULLIVAN CHICAGO. July closing phase was dramatic In the extreme Governor Roosevelt's doing away with that ancient Institution, the notification ceremony, his coming to the convention hall, and particularly his coming In an airplane--all that had the effect ot creating intent interest In him. Chicago's reception ot him was fully equal to the reception it would give to any presidential candidate under the same circumstances. The city showed no faintest sign of the attitude which, the night before in the convention hall, had expressed itsel! in booing when the galleries realized that the fight was over and Roosevelt's friends had dominated the convention.

That scene was as unprecedentec In American political history as Roosevelt's awn swift overturning traditions. No doubt the accounts of the booing sent out hurriedly to the country at the Instant it was occurring, may have misinterpreted It to Roosevelt's detriment For McAdoo It is extremely doubtful If any part ot the hostile demonstration was directed toward Roosevelt personally. The crowd was expressing itself, not about -the victory ot Roosevelt, but the defeat ot Smith. Much of the crowd's anger was directed straight at 'William G. McAdoo.

who at the moment was making the announcement about California's switch, i Roosevelt's victory, and meant tor Smith not merely defeat but elimination from any important influence in the Democratic party In a national It was uncanny how the crowd gasped the mechanics ot the intricate political situation. They "sensed" that It was McAdoo who had had a major hand in bringing about the breaking ot the deadlock In just the way it ended. Because ot that they were very angry at McAdoo Indeed. In the chorused booing one heard frequently a shouted question. "What price, McAdoo?" It was a fact, of course, that there had been a political bargain.

At the same time, however, nobody knew about it, and it was remarkable that the crowd should have been vocally suspicious. It Is quite according to political morals and convention precedents that California and Texas should receive a political price tor quitting the opposition to Roosevelt and by going over to him giving him the prize. One wonders, however. If that sort of thing may not be out of date. One wonders if the country Is in a mood to be patient i convention strategy played as a game that takes account of personal prizes, personal emotions, personal feuds, here was some of the same sort of thing in the Republican national convention, in which the vice presidential nomination was awarded to Curtis on the ground of the party's gratitude for past loyal services.

Garner Tired Speakershlp There has been an Immense buzz of curiosity as to why Garner should want the vice presidency. The spenk- ershlp is In every estmiatlon, and In the formal ranking of government offices, by tar the better post and the more important one. Inevitably it was surmised that Garner must have been disappointed with his brief career in the speaker's office. It is a fact that some ot the more Important Democrats in the house have been less than contented with Garner's management of the speakershlp. and will be pleased with the opportunity to give the post to another.

The vice presidency is an infinitely less burdensome office to administer. The Democrats feel they have solved a situation which was likely to become a problem to them. As for McAdoo, he Is equipped to eo back to California with the satisfied grin, not of the cat who ate the canary, but of the man who ate the tiger. McAdoo's revenge upon Smith is complete and then some. The 10- year leud ends, with each having kept the other from the presidency, but with McAdoo alone tasting the sweets ot having the last blow and the concluding one in the feud.

McAdoo should have had the presidential nomination in 1924. Smith stopped him. Now McAdoo has not only satisfied his own feud with Smith, but also has defeated Smith In Smith's later controversy against Franklin Roosevelt. One feels like wondering again whether, in this age of the world, and In this crisis, politics in either party can continue to be to so great a degree a thing having to do with the clash ot personalities.

Confidential word has been received In Republican circles that Mr. Coo- lldge will not take a strong part in the Hoover campaign. He may make a radio speech lale In the fall, but they will have to bring the microphone up and hand it to him. Hinting his views on that subject Coolidge recently wrote in a private letter to a friend: "I am in Vermont now nnd intend to remain there most ot the summer." The hermit of Plymouth Notch recently had a guest for lunch. Mrs.

Coolidge inquired whether he would Nave Russian or French dressing on the salad. "I am for Russian recognition," the guest replied. He thought that was a fairly smart remark. "Yes. but not with Red dressing," quoth the hermit.

The sales tax is an unexpected success in Mississippi. Budget figures showing its results will be made public within a few days by the state government. They will disclose that the 2 per cent levy raised nearly twice as much money as expected. It has put the state In such good shape financially that a bond asue will be privately arranged. The result is astounding.

The militia lad to be called out to suppress pro- iestlng farmers at the time the tax was adopted. It is Important because other Southern states will undoubtedly pick it up now that they see Mississippi has worked It out successfully. That may mean the idea of a federal sales tax will be dropped and that method of taxation left to the states. Advocates of the Mississippi tax contend the people have forgotten all about it. They claim it has not resulted in increased prices.

Some merchants are cooperating to the extent of advertising the full price without mentioning the lax. Others quote prices plus tnxe.s. The treasury's private figures Indicate we arc about $50,000,000 short of balancing the budget on the basis of existing legislation. That is near enough to assure a balanced book if we have any kind of business ability for the next twelve months. Some Impartial observers have calculated the shortage us much higher--from $200,000,000 to S514.UOU.UOU.

Even those figures would not be so bad if the appearance of balancing Is preserved. The main thins is to keep the price of government bonds at par or better. That will be done. The conventions this year were the first where women delegates sat and smoked with the men while voting. Generally the Democrats, unlike the Republicans, nnd had no trouble arousing enthusiasm on the convention floor.

Their trouble was too much enthusiasm. There were some faked demonstrations for the about on a par with the Republicans. From New York: The railroad situation continues to attract attention. The plan to permit the roads to borrow money to buy in their own bonds continues to make quiet progress. The school of thought which contends that extensive capital cuts will be nccessarv before railroads are again on a sound footing Is growing In influence.

This group holds that the roads must adapt themselves to a long term lower scale of traffic with less overhead. A good many bankers feel that way about It. On the other hand, some of the railway executives and other observers insist that thr roads can best help themselves by modernizing equipment and instituting Internal improvements. Thomas Woodlock rccentlv pointed out that about 80 per con', of the equipment of the railroads is more than ten years old and SO per cent Is less than twenty years old. He also stated that a ten year program modernization would result in an actual saving of more from 3SO million to 400 million dollars a year in operating income.

"Governor Roosevelt is now the nominee of our party. He has subscribed unreservedly to a party platform, which is clear and explicit and in the main an enunciation of the principles for which Al Smith and those who stand with him have consistently fought. "Most of all we have cause for rejoicing that the Democratic party nt this convention has at last given its unqualified pledge to repeal of the eighteenth amendment and pending repeal, to liberalize the Volstead act. "The declaration Is a land mark in our party history. It Is an epoch making decision, which in importance and effect far transcends any questions of men and of candidates.

"The Democratic parly Is my parly because its principles of government nre my pilnclples. My Inlluencr will be fully exerted to assure a Democratic victory in the coming election." Governor Roosevelt, accompanied by Mrs. Roosevelt, Thomas Lynch of the New York tax commission, and secietarles, left Chicago for Albany last night in a special car attached to a Michigan Central train. A thousand or more well wishers were at the railroad station to watch him depart. Croud Surrounds Car Despite the iart this governor's car was placed on a siding in a remote section of the yards, a crowd surrounded It half an hour before train- time.

Roosevelt and hU wife appealed on the rear platform for several minutes, smiling, while flashlight pictures were smipcd by the The car is due In Albany at 3 p. eastern standard time, today. The most serloui problem--thi question of determining what Smith's position will be--was taken over by James A. Farley, the new chairman of the Democratic committee. Farley planned to have a conference with Smith when he arrives In New York.

The two are old friends. Farley declined to say whether he would ask Smith to take an active part in the campaign. Friends of Roosevelt expressed belief that even if the 1928 nominee did not work actively for the election of Roosevelt, he would give his silent support. The campaign itself is already under way so far as the Democrats are concerned. Roosevelt started It Saturday when he flew here for his acceptance speech, doing away with the traditional formality that has surrounded such occasions In the past.

Cnnfrrs With Leaders He continued it when he went before the national committee after had elected Farley. After his open gesture of conciliation to the members of the old Smith regime, he went into a series of conferences with various lenders to work out. his plans for the campaign Hu made It clear that he does not intend to make it a one-Issue campaign, but will choose his texts from the whole Democratic platform and adapt his issues to the sections he visits. While he intends to wage an active campaign, all plans are highly tentative so far. The national headquarters probably will be established in New York, but this too l.s indefinite as yet.

Chicago and Washington also are being considered. Tho Republican campaign headquarters will be In Chicago. Both have their financial troubles as they go Into the campaign. John J. Raskob told the Democrats Satui day that they owed $420,000.

The Republicans are lit better shape, but they are in none too good form to fl- nance the vote getting drive. Smith Not a Word NEW YORK, 4 E. Smith, who came nome from the ChiiMgo Democratic convention the "unhappy wan lor," still maintained Ins silence today on all things political, relterat'ng "1 have absolutely nothing to say." The former governor arrived yesterday morning to be greeted by a small crowd of admirers. At his son's home he again was questioned by newspaper men on his attitude toward the Roosevelt-Garner ticket. "Not a word," Smith said tersely.

"I'm going for a swim quickly as I can. I need it." Members of Smith's convention party, who returned with their defeated candidate, have raised the charge of being "double crossed" by William G. McAdoo, head of the California delegation. McAdoo, they declared, had violated a "gentleman's agreement" not to make any change In the California or Texas delegations vote without first notifying the Smith forces. Smith's cohorts also Intimated that Speaker John N.

Gerncr had participated with McAdoo and William Randolph Hearst in an alliance to force Smith out of the running. They cite Garner's refusal to talk to Smith over long distance telephone Friday night when the former tried to get in touch with him. John W. Davis, nominee In 1924, returned and predicted success at the polls for the ticket. "I have sent," Davis said, "Governor Roosevelt a telegram voicing my hearty congratulations on his nomination.

It was clear to me from my contact with the delegates that the demand for Roosevelt among the Democrats of the country was widespread, transcending all sectional lines. "Many of the supporters of other candidates recognize in Governor Roosevelt qualities that will make him a popular campaigner and a successful president. The nomination of Speaker Garner odds strength to the ticket. I am delighted with the platform. WP shall have a stimulating and Illuminating campaign, and I look forward to a Democratic victory."

He will strengthen the Democratic party In every state In the union." Mr.

Mack has been a national com- mittcemtm 32 years. Ritchie to Back Nominee BALTIMORE, July 4 Albert C. Ritchie came back to Maryland on his special train from tho Democratic national convention at Chicago and told several thousand people who greeted him here that he "was going to take off his coat and work for the election of Franklin D.

-Speaker John N. Garner plans to confer with Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt within the next two weeks on Democratic campaign plans for 1832. Just the exact date, Garner said, will depend on the adjournment ot congress, which the speaker will come this week. "My job now Is being speaker ot the house." the white-haired vice presidential nominee said.

"That's plenty to keep me busy and must be finished before can give any time to politics. 1 Although he still declined comment on party actions, and expects to continue this silence until formally notified, it was no secret that he was highly pleased, both with Roosevelt's unprecedented flight to receive the nomination from the Chicago convention and the text of bis speech to the Democratic hosts there. Garner is undecided whether his own notification ceremonies will be held at his Texas home or here.
